MARITA ISOBEL SOLBERG is a musician and visual artist. Focusing on music/sound, performance art and installation. A multifaced artist that experiments and engages many different media in her work such as sound/music, performance, photography, poetry, spoken words, video, clay/ceramics and sculpture.

Interweaving elements from Sámi and Northern culture and subculture and from relations to people and places, she embodies personas or charachters of varied but particular properties; The seer, the witch, the sage or the jester. Equally understated and burlesque, minimal and expressive, sarcastic and blissfull, blunt and evasive, the works explore a world of challenge, strangeness, violence, melancholy, loneliness and desire where narrative passages or content. At times autobiographical, strongly connected to the surroundings, she mixes with more symbolic and ritual elements.
